The flu season is hitting hard in almost all of the states. Some local families are already dealing with it. It has put some family members in the hospital. My father had the flu shot but after Christmas still got the flu. It seems to be quite nasty this year already. Have you dealt with the flu already? Stop by and share your experience.

Staying healthy can seem hard when the flu season is on us but there are a few things you can do. Many say they are using tips like vitamin C, eating healthy, getting plenty of rest and washing their hands all the time. How do you stay healthy with your family? Did you get the vaccine this year? My family is honestly staying at home as much as possible and being meticulous on washing hands and taking it easy for now. I am hoping we avoid it but you never know. How do you stay healthy this time of year?

A couple of moms on the site could use some assistance. One mom is looking for information on the Robopalooza teams that are around. If you have any information that can help here please stop by here. Another mom is looking for violin lessons for her child. Do you know a great teacher?

Finally, there are some instances where the government wants to intervene where junk food and obesity is a concern. While many agree that obesity is running rampant, they are on different sides of the coin when it comes to the government stepping in. What do you think? Should there be taxes on junk food or should sizes be limited for you to choose from? Share your thoughts and see other moms opinions when you stop by.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend and stay healthy! Thanks for all your contributions to the site and I'll see you around!
